Nearly 500 students, faculty and staff attended Trine University’s first Beach Bash on Sept. 16. “Trine Beach” with sand, water and a volleyball net was created on the lawn of the Rick L. and Vicki L. James University Center for the event. A hog roast with three sauces served as the main course, and entertainment was provided by Island Vibe.
“It went really well. When you looked around you saw lots of smiles and lots of students playing volleyball and cornhole,” said Mary Ditmars, executive assistant for the Office of the President, who coordinated the event. “We had a lot of positive student feedback. Many said it was one of the best events they’ve attended at Trine.”
Trine University students Isaac Braun, a senior chemical engineering major from Portland, Indiana, and Ryan Sederstrom, a junior electrical engineering major from Cedar Lake, Indiana, placed 15th in the collegiate pairs tournament at the North American Bridge Championships.
Two Trine University faculty members recently participated in the biennial Actuarial Teaching Conference (ATC), held July 19-21 in Columbus, Ohio.
Trine University has been selected to be part of a national program to help campuses respond to the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence (AI) presents for courses, curricula and higher education in general.
